| - Kloe was born eight years before E-Day, and grew up with the threat of the COG, UIR, and later Locust being able to crush her village in the South Islands at any moment. She wanted to fight, but her brothers wouldn't hear of it. Tai was especially set against her becoming a Gear, believing a woman shouldn't be subjected to the war, and knowing how the Cog treated women. When it came to a head, Kloe ran from home and joined the COG. Like other women who had tried for service as a Gear, the recruitment officer was discouraging, but he allowed her to visit a military base to see it herself, which he hoped would dissuade her. A pair of Gears that had just won a challenge caught her when she was alone, but the young girl was easily able to 'break' the clumsy soldiers. The recruiter watched her make one yell for mercy and immediately signed her for basic training. She thought about her brothers' words often, and was apprehensive to meet her first unit. Fortunately, she was assigned to Ion Squad. Sgt. Daniel McCormick was a warm-hearted family man, and squadmate Will Kulm had also run away from his family.
